NAME

       XCopyArea, XCopyPlane - copy areas

SYNTAX

       int  XCopyArea(Display *display, Drawable src, Drawable dest, GC gc, int src_x, int src_y,
              unsigned int width, unsigned height, int dest_x, int dest_y);

       int XCopyPlane(Display *display, Drawable src, Drawable dest, GC gc, int src_x, int src_y,
              unsigned width, unsigned height, int dest_x, int dest_y, unsigned long plane);

ARGUMENTS

       dest_x
       dest_y    Specify  the  x  and  y  coordinates,  which  are  relative to the origin of the
                 destination rectangle and specify its upper-left corner.

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       gc        Specifies the GC.

       plane     Specifies the bit plane.  You must set exactly one bit to 1.

       src
       dest      Specify the source and destination rectangles to be combined.

       src_x
       src_y     Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the  source
                 rectangle and specify its upper-left corner.

       width
       height    Specify  the  width  and height, which are the dimensions of both the source and
                 destination rectangles.

DESCRIPTION

       The XCopyArea function  combines  the  specified  rectangle  of  src  with  the  specified
       rectangle  of  dest.  The drawables must have the same root and depth, or a BadMatch error
       results.

       If regions of the source rectangle are obscured and have  not  been  retained  in  backing
       store  or  if  regions  outside the boundaries of the source drawable are specified, those
       regions are not copied.  Instead, the following occurs on  all  corresponding  destination
       regions that are either visible or are retained in backing store.  If the destination is a
       window with a background other than None, corresponding regions  of  the  destination  are
       tiled  with that background (with plane-mask of all ones and GXcopy function).  Regardless
       of tiling or whether the destination is a window or a  pixmap,  if  graphics-exposures  is
       True,  then GraphicsExpose events for all corresponding destination regions are generated.
       If graphics-exposures is True but no GraphicsExpose events are generated, a NoExpose event
       is generated.  Note that by default graphics-exposures is True in new GCs.

       This  function  uses  these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwindow-mode, graphics-
       exposures, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.

       XCopyArea can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.

       The XCopyPlane function uses a single bit plane of the specified source rectangle combined
       with  the specified GC to modify the specified rectangle of dest.  The drawables must have
       the same root but need not have the same depth.  If the drawables do  not  have  the  same
       root,  a  BadMatch error results.  If plane does not have exactly one bit set to 1 and the
       value of plane is not less than %2 sup n%, where n is the depth of src, a  BadValue  error
       results.

       Effectively, XCopyPlane forms a pixmap of the same depth as the rectangle of dest and with
       a size specified by the source region.  It uses the foreground/background pixels in the GC
       (foreground everywhere the bit plane in src contains a bit set to 1, background everywhere
       the bit plane in src contains a bit set to 0) and the equivalent of  a  CopyArea  protocol
       request is performed with all the same exposure semantics.  This can also be thought of as
       using the specified region of the source bit plane as  a  stipple  with  a  fill-style  of
       FillOpaqueStippled for filling a rectangular area of the destination.

       This  function  uses  these  GC  components: function, plane-mask, foreground, background,
       subwindow-mode, graphics-exposures, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.

       XCopyPlane can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadDrawable
                 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.

       BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.

       BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

       BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but  fails  to
                 match in some other way required by the request.

       BadValue  Some  numeric  value  falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
                 Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined  by
                 the  argument's type is accepted.  Any argument defined as a set of alternatives
                 can generate this error.
